We are notorious for interviewing and hiring later than everyone else (first acceptance letters going out in like May, I think). We are still understaffed and hiring people here and there. I really don't have any insight as to what batch of resumes they are taking them from or what they are looking for.

I don't mean this to sound like a humble-brag. My interview went okay, but wasn't great by any means. I do have a pretty strong resume, but nothing special.

If you're out of state, it's their policy. I got offered the same thing but my understanding of the way it works is that I'll have my panel in the morning and if the panel likes me, I'll meet with the DA the same day. They told me they try to schedule the panel like that for folks coming in from out of state.

Sounds like we have our first wave of Bronx 3rd rounds coming up this next week. I know two people from my school with 3rd rounds on 10/24.

Does anyone know the success rate on these? I have numbers from a couple years ago that say there were 111 3rd rounds and 54 new ADAs. Obviously many people who get offers end up going somewhere else, or withdraw before a decision, so from that I'd guess it's a 70-80% offer rate.

I have to think a higher percentage of people who get early (October/November) 3rd-rounds end up getting offers than with later 3rd rounds (though maybe there is an uptick at the end as they fill out the class). Why give someone a 3rd round in October if they aren't pretty well sold on them? Just to clear them off the books or something?

Don’t believe there’s a requirement for any of the boroughs except for Staten Island, which requires residency within one of the 5 boroughs. The big 4 only require residency within the state if I’m not mistaken.
